Mashed potatoes are one of the easiest foods on the planet! This reminds me of a funny instance that occurred with a former supervisor at work. (Nancy Young will remember this, and some of the other oldtimers on rfc, as well.) This woman had been married for 2, maybe 3 years; she was 37, maybe 38 years old and always bragged about what a great cook her mom was. But she didn't call her mom (who was very much alive). She called me at home one night around 6PM to ask me how to make mashed potatoes. Excuse me? You're calling me at home to ask how to make mashed potatoes?! LOL
That's nothing, cyberTWOT called me up one night and asked ME how to SCREW...
LOL...
:--D
Anwyays, I agree about mashed taters being relatively simple to make, making decent mashed and also gravy - making are two of the first things a beginning homemaker or cook should master, Just takes some practice, no reason to parse the procedures into some huge drama...it's not at all terribly difficult, not like mastering some of the facets of baking, fer instance. Even an "average" result will be fairly palatable...not "great", but acceptable.
I bet cybercat will next be asking how to make fried potato patties out of her leftover mashed, will we be READY for that HUGE ordeal...!!!???

I followed the great instructions I got here, and they were wonderful and damned near effortless.
Big fresh Idaho potatoes, cut up and gently boiled for 20 minutes with lots of salt, placed on the warm burner to dry bit after being drained in a collander.
I warmed the milk and put the room-temp butter in first, then went easy on the milk. They were so light and fluffy by themselves that a simple masher and a brief whisking made them perfect. Russets are MUCH heavier, in my experience. I love them but Idahoes made the task really easy. They all got eaten, too. Thanks, everyone!

You know what? I don't think it is the type of potato that gave me the lighter, fluffier boiled potatoes, I think it was the drying out of the potatoes on the warm stove burner.
Tonight I used the last of the Idaho potatoes for boiled potatoes to have with broiled rosemary pork medallions and green beans seasoned with leftover ham.
They were heavy, just like "other" russets.
So for sure the key to light, non-lumpy mashed potatoes is allowing them to dry on a warm burner after draining.
I always put the potatoes back into the pot and leave it on the warm burner after I drain them. Interesting that you noticed a difference in texture and fluffiness. I only did it that way in order to save washing another item! LOL. Then I mix the cream/milk in the original pot with the potatoes, add the butter and salt, mash it all up and serve. Since it's just my husband and me, I always make him a plate so there's no need to dirty another dish for serving. I never knew that it may make a difference in preparing the potatoes that way. Thanks, Cyber!

In fact the last posters I truly loathed here were the long - gone Sheryl Rosen and Mothra Hughes, and that particular drama was years ago now. I truly like - or tolerate, lol - most everyone here, and that includes cyberpussy and Da sqwertz, they make me laff and I KNOW deep down that they love me too...we just engage in silly bantering, no harm done IMNSHO.
:--P
no harm done if you don't mind making yourself look ugly and vicious. not to mention stupid.

so which book did you look it up in?
Actually, he called me an idiot and told me that if I wanted ask a man how to screw, anyone knows I should ask a man who HAS one, not a poor excuse for a man who nevertheless IS one.

Not entirely. You are of course, right. And I find Greg Morrow lowbrow, witless, and obnoxious. For him to claim that we are some kind of comedy team turns my stomach. So thanks for pointing it out, since he seems perpetually misguided. It's dark in there. Kudos to you for attempting to get Greg's head out of his ass.
